HEATING ATTACHMENT non BURNERS.

Application filed September 13, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK LEACH, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at-Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Heating Attachments for Burners, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to heating devices to be used in connection with gas burners, not only for the purpose of deflecting the hot air arising from the burner and to therefore prevent discoloration of the ceiling, but furthermore to distribute such heat radially from the device, so that the heat will thus be used for warming the atmosphere of the room.

The invention has for one of its objects the provision of an improved device of this character which may be attached to or removed from any burner of ordinary'con struction.

The invention has furthermore for its object the improved construction of the device,

' panying drawings, in which similar characused in the device.

The heating attachment may be applied to gas burners of different kinds or to oil Specification of Letters Patent.

burning lamps, the drawings however show the device applied to a burner of the inverted. gas mantle type, this burner comprising a gooseneck g, to which the holding fixture of the devic'eis secured.

By referring to Figs. 3 and a, it will be seen that my improved heater comprises a distributing plate 10 having a plurality of perforations 11 through which the heat generated by the burner may pass." Disposed above this distributing plate, and spaced therefrom, is a baffle plate 12 which carries a clip 15 adapted to straddle the gooseneck g and to be clamped thereto, asfor instance by screws 14.

A spacer plate 16 (see also Fig. 5) having perforations 16 is interposed between the distributing plate and the baffle 12, the heat waves passing through both sets-of perforations 11 and 16 against the under side of the baffle plate whereby the heat is. deflected radially outward toward another series of perforations 18 provided in the depending flange 18 of the main or crown plate 18 which is spaced from the baffle by a spacer member 19, as shown; Any heat which may find its way into this space between the baffle and the crown is permitted to escape through perforations 20 provided in the top plate of the crown. Likewise any heat which may be established inthe interior of the spacer cup 19 is permitted to escape through perforations 21, so that the temperatureof the crown will be maintained at a comparatively low degree.

Theseveral parts above described are held together by a bolt 22 projecting through the center portions of the same respectively, and carrying at its under side a nut 23 screwthreaded therewith.

Changes may be made in the particular construction and assemblage of the several parts, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is A heating attachment for gas burners comprising a distributing plate having a series of perforations, a baflle in superposed relation thereto, a spacer between said distributing plate and the baffle and having perforations registering With the perforations In testimony whereof, I sign this specifiof the distrilplutin g1 plate, a crovl plate havcation in the presence of tWo Witnesses. ing a de en in ange provi e With per- A forations belovv said baflie, means for hold- FRANK LEACH' ing the several parts together, and means Witnesses: carried by said haflie for holding the device S.
